Midtown Madness 2 has quite a few gaming modes, three being from the original and one that is new. There is the Cruise mode where you can drive anywhere without competing, the Checkpoint mode is where you race and pass through checkpoints before your opponent, then there is the Blitz in which you race against the clock, and finally there is the newest mode, the Crash Course. In this new mode you build up some of your driving skills as a Hollywood stunt driver in San Francisco or as a trainee at the Imperial Cabbie Academy in London. It is quite fun and adds some great challenge to the game.
